I bought the 2G several days after the launch. I loved it and never planned on moving up to the 3G until the touch screen stopped responding. The cost to repair (at that time) was the same as moving up to the 3G so I made the move. Why not have a brand new iPhone rather than a repaired iPhone for the same price...

I did like the feel of the 2G. Just felt stronger and more solid. I am happy with my 3G mostly for the speed with emails and the web. I doubt I'll move to the 3GS. Partly because I am not eligible until the summer of 2010 and mostly because I am happy with my 3G.

The 2G was easily the best iPhone design ever. I loved how there was very little space between the display and the sides of the phone. Also the aluminum back felt nice and cold in your hand, it felt very expensive.

I got the new 3GS having just moved up from the 1st gen and I miss the flat back of the original phone. I'm not a fan of the now curved design (since 3G) or the plastic. This is "progress" tho, right?!
